^^THE MEDITERRANEAN DARK AGE -- Byzantium, The Arabs, and the Europeans
^^by Exile and Eric Hartzell
^ 
^ As the Arabs spread across the Mahgreb, the Mediterranean civilization 
^ collapsed. The inland sea became an oceanic battleground, contested by
^ the Byzantines and the saracens. The Dark Age kingdoms in Europe, the 
^ Franks, Lombards, and Visigoths struggled with each other over the 
^ prostrate ruins of the once mighty Empire. In the east, the Slavs and
^ Bulgars spread into regions made desolate by centuries of warfare.
^ 
^ All positions are playable, but the various civs face different challenges.
